Going up to the top of Muana Kea, more desolate landscape photos to come…

Reminds me of the Bismarck airport. Except with more lava.

Gas is expensive here. I think it’s gold-plated.

From the west coast of Hawaii (Big Island).

Guess there was one more line. Word, texting while driving.

Take a photo of something orange.

I ♥ orange. Hugely.

Raced in an all fixed-gear alleycat today. The route between the checkpoints took us from the ballpark, along the Embarcadero, to the Wharf and back to Dolores Park. Traffic was dead-stopped on Van Ness. There were 5 of us in a dead heat dodging cars & Muni racing back to the park.

Got 9th place by a half second (behind Jenny, who owned on Van Ness opposing traffic). Won some sweet japanese cycling stickers!

Mm, breakfast.

• 1 shallot
• 1 clove garlic
• 2 eggs
• 4 slices bacon
• 4 slices potato-rosemary bread
• 1 tbsp safflower or canola oil
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• sea salt
• pepper
• pinch fresh dill

Place bacon in cold cast-iron pan, put on medium-low heat. Coat second pan with olive oil and start the bread on medium-low heat. Slice shallot & garlic and sautee for 2-3 minutes in safflower oil over medium-high heat. Whisk eggs with salt, pepper and a dash of water. Turn bacon & bread, pour eggs over shallots & garlic, and cook for 1-2 minutes until golden (not brown).

Turn off all heat, blot bacon and plate. Sprinkle dill over eggs and serve!
